An Audience With: Coyote and Roadrunner

In a moment of sheer madness, we asked you, our dear and slightly bonkers readers, for any questions you'd like to ask us. Quite why we decided this was a good idea is beyond us. Blame it on the Smints.

You tweeted us, you emailed us, you Sellotaped your questions to pigeons and launched them at us using trebuchets made of lollipop sticks and chewing gum (ok; you didn't...but it's a fun image nonetheless) and we were graced with 15 of your finest queries.

The original plan was to carefully ponder over your questions in coming days - with the aid of Auntie Stella and Uncle Penderyn. However, we realised that this probably wasn't a wise idea. Last time we tried to do something creative with those two around, the chandeliers and banisters took a proper battering...

So, without further ado, we shall now endeavour to entertain and enlighten you through the medium of answers!

1.Lambs are cute, sheep are ugly. When exactly does this change happen? There is no halfway stage. Has bothered me for years. - From @A470Training in Trawsfynydd

Roadrunner: Isn’t there a nuclear power plant in
Trawsfynydd?

Coyote: There is...

R: So; they have nuclear sheep there?

C: Makes them easier to find in the dark.

R: I don’t think sheep are ugly.

C: I do.
They look like short, fat llamas.

R: Llamas aren’t ugly either.

C: They are!
Alex Jones looks like a llama.

R: I thought she looked more like a horse...

C: Horses aren’t ugly.

R: **Gallops around the room, whinnying**

C: Time for your medication, dear.

2.What are you scared of? - From Matt in Berlin

Coyote: Broken coffee machines.

Roadrunner: Huw Edwards.

3.What effect has Twitter had on your lives; both professionally and personally? - From @Stewpot in Bedfordshire

Roadrunner: **Walks to bookshelf...**Coyote: Where are you going?

R: To get the dictionary.

C: Why...?

R: **Thumbs through pages** Pro-fess-io-na...

C: Twitter is responsible for us two meeting
each other. If it wasn’t for that little
blue bird – and a helping hand from Blaenplwyf transmitter – none of this would
ever have happened.
R: It’s certainly helped me
flog a few photographs here and there.

C: You sell photographs?

R: Sometimes...

C: I thought you were an astronaut.

R: Only on Sundays.

4.Why did the chicken cross the road? - From Anon in Anonland

Coyote: Because the light turned green.

Roadrunner: And because the moon was conjunct with the
chicken’s natal Mars in its fourth house.

5.Out of all the places you've been to so far; what's your favourite and why? - From Sammy in Galway

10.Do you have a favourite joke? - From Kate in York

C: No. The
Hat Act placed limits on the manufacture, sale, and exportation of
American-made hats. The act also
restricted hiring practices by limiting the number of workers that milliners
could employ, and placing limits on apprenticeships by only allowing two
apprentices. The law's effect was that
Americans in the colonies were forced to buy British-made goods, and this
artificial trade restraint meant that Americans paid four times as much for
hats and cloth imported from Britain than for local goods.

R: Oh.

12. Am I really here? Who are you? Who am I? Where are we? Fancy doing something naughty? Are you sure you're not Trevor? - From @Cymru_Rydd in Cymru

About Us

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. We're two people who met by chance and share a love of all things random, beautiful and fun.
We travel around Britain a lot, taking photographs and shooting videos as we go. We also have a tendency to ramble and muse upon the most ridiculous subjects. There's no structure to this blog - but we really hope you find something to make you smile...because that's what it's here for! x
